Kezia W. Saint, daughter of John and Jane
Manlove, was born in Fayette county, Ind,
August %, 1923; died Feb. II, 1887. She re-
moved with her parents to Henry county, at
the age of two and half years, and settled
on the farm near Grant City, where, with the
exception of nine years of her married life,
she has ever since resided. On Dec. 26, 1916,
she was married to Milton Saint. The fruit
of this union were five children-four sons
and one daughter. Two of the sons preceded
their mother to the grave, one in infancy, the
other in early manhood. Her husband died
Dec 10, 1855. Her last sickness (pneumonla)
was of one weeks duration, which she bore
with calmness and fortitude. She talked
with her children of her hopes of the future,
saying her faith and trust were in Christ.
She was member of the Universalist church
and so trusted in Christ that she knew her
salvation was sure. She departed without
struggle, falling into calm and quiet sleep
from which she could not be awakened. She
was good and kind neighbor, ever ready
to help those in trouble. The funeral SER
vices were held in the Friends church,
conducted by Br. Fl. N. Brown, of Dublin,
after which she was inferred in the cemetery
at Knightstown. Thus ends the life of one
who was ever kind, affectionate and in
dulgent mother. Her children feel that they
can say, "mother is not dead, but gone be-

this life at his residence in Licking county,
o., March 4, 1887, making him at his death
70 years, 10 months and 81 days old. In his
eighteenth year he came to Ohio and lived

time of his death. Some three years after
his emigration to this State he was married

wives to mourn his death. He has been an
active member of the Universalist church for
over forty years, and always adorned his pro-

ter. His funeral sermon was preached at the
Methodist church near his residence, on Sun
day morning, March 6, to large congrega-
ton of relations, friends and neighbors, by
the writer of this notice. He leaves, to mourn
their loss, a widow, two SONS, three daughters,
one brother and two sisters. Br. De Grow

Frederick Hoffman passed from Columbia
City, Ind, to the higher life, March 7, 1887.
Our Br. Hoffman was born in Germany. He
came to this country when ten years old and
soon after was left an orphan. Life with him
was hard struggle, yet he looked upon all its
experiences as disciplinary, and he wove all
its dark and light threads into a web that
lifted him above its discouragements and
made him one of the most useful members
of society. He was an honored member of
the Universalist church; also of the brother
hood of Masons. under whose charge his body
was, on Wednesday, March 8, carried to its
final resting place in the Masonic cemetery
in Columbia City. 1t was our sad privilege
to offer appropriate words of sympathy and
hope to the widow and two children, the
only relatives present; but a large assembly
of neighbors and friends was present, to min
gle their tears with those sad hearts. Yet
they felt the thrill of that joy, which is an
assurance of 4" treasure in heaven"

William Henry Harrison Russell was born
July II, 1878, in Lancaster county, Pa, and
was married to Miss Elizabeth Hill, August
2S, 1888. They settled in Hamilton, o., about
1850, and their residence was uninterrupted
there until the home that had been established
nearly fifty years was broken by the death of
Br. Russell, Feb. 81. Fifteen children were
born to them, all of whom have passed to the
spirit world, except David P. Russell and
Mrs. Sallie M. Andrews, who are spared to
comfort their mother in her declining years.
Br. Russell was an active business man, and
his handiwork is seen in many residences in
city and country. He plastered Buchtel Col
lege, and always felt much pride in his me-
chanical connection with that noble edifce.
About four years ago his health began to de-
cline, and toward the last his vigorous mind
was somewhat clouded. He was, from early
life, Universalist, and was one of the first
members Of our church in Hamilton. During
my pastorate of four years of that church no
one was more regular in attendance or more
liberal in support. and his door was ever open
for the pastors entrance. His funeral SER
vices took place at the family residence,
Feb. %, and we're largely attended The con-
solations of the Gospel were administered by
the writer to the bereaved widow, children
and friends who mourn, not as those without
hope. May the good Father ever strengthen
and comfort theml J. w. HENLEY.
